35 billion user active seconds — per day. That’s the number. That’s the scale. That’s the energy behind Character.AI right now. It’s not a fluke — it’s the product of an entertainment platform firing on all cylinders: - ~20M monthly active users - 35% DAU/MAU ratio - Hundreds of millions of characters - Billions of chats - 7M+ audio minutes generated daily And the infra behind the scenes is just as serious: - 20K QPS - 1M concurrent connections - 2.7B TPM input - 100M TPM decode This isn’t a demo. This is a full-stack, full-speed, emotionally immersive product — operating at the edge of scale and storytelling. Others talk about community and data flywheels. We’ve got one running at speed and at scale. Character is back, baby. And some of the early results we’re seeing from post-training open weights? Very, very promising. Character.AI is on pace to win entertainment AI.
I feel like all my academic and industry career has led me to this point: to help invent new forms of AI entertainment with an unbelievably stellar team. Having dedicated my PhD to this topic, I've come to see that entertainment isn't a distraction from "serious intelligence" -- it's at the heart of it. Storytelling is the native language of our cognition. It is central to how we think, live, memorize, socialize, and more. It is the currency of human interaction, culture, and yes, all forms of entertainment. And AI is a key to leverage, evolve and understand it. Let's go.
